Is that a happy place?

It's amazing how some people have a strong shell of self admiration around them. A shell that is indestructible.

What they wear becomes the most stylish outfit ever. What they write are the funniest black marks on white paper. Looking down on others, smiling selectively, and showing off, are some of their best practices. There are quite a few people belonging to this category. So they easily find each other and end up forming a Self and Mutual Admiration Society.

What the members of this socienty don't realize is that they shock (with their shallowness) and annoy (with their so called attitude) the saner souls that have a functioning brain. But this post is not about how flawed and insecure the Self and Mutual Admiration Society is, but to question if it is good to be a member of this group?

At the end of it all, what one wants is to be happy. If these people are blissfully happy in their ignorance, then is it not a good place to be?

I won't deny that whenever I come across someone like them, bitterness and acrimony overcome me. I want to break their shell into a thousand pieces and show them reality. But on second thoughts, shouldn't I let a happy person be?

I am sure 3 people will read this post. What are your thoughts?
